Helena Institute is a hybrid research and creative institute—a think-and-do tank—where nature, sustainability, and systems thinking meet to shape futures worth inheriting.
The Helena Institute is a place of research, learning, and experimentation, where systems, projects, and processes are designed in close relationship with nature, culture, and complexity. We listen closely, work carefully, and prototype with the long view in mind. Our practices connect disciplines, people, and places into processes that are alive and adaptive. We ask: What does a just, intelligent, nature-connected future look like—in practice, and in the wild?
